It's been too long!

I have not updated this for a while!!! Sorry!

Monday night, Brooke and I got home from a trip to California to see my brother, his family, and to attend his graduation. It was a very short trip, and there was A LOT of driving, but well worth it. It was so fun to go and be with them. We went boating on Saturday and got to visit San Fransisco on Sunday for a short time. We left cause it was so so so cold. It was also hard to walk around the Fisherman's Wharf, and pass by the Giradelli (sp ?) chocolate factory, and other yummy shops with an empty stomach, and not get to buy anything. (cause it was Sunday) So, we went back to my brothers house, and got all comfy in Jammie's, and had his graduation cake, and laughed and talked. We reminisced of the good old days, funny things our father always says, and recalled all of Steve's pranks. He will go to any length to prank anyone. From garage door tricks from across the street, to posing as a cop with his dog, and sniffing out a poor unsuspecting souls car for drugs, (that of coarse he planted) and arresting people. He loves to laugh, and have fun with life, and so when the day he called my mom to say he had a brain tumor, my mother of coarse thought it was a prank. (which would not have been funny at all), yet we all wish it had been, so he would not have to go through this. He is doing well from what we can see. He is positive, and in good spirits, though, to me there has been a change I cannot put our finger on. All in all, it was a good trip, despite Brooke having to deal with an ear infection. :( poor thing!
This is one of my brother's jumping from a rock/cliff, as my mother shed real tears. Scary to watch actually.
